Well, actually he proposed the trade... I run a mailing list called "AmigaMexico" in yahoogroups, he found us and joined the list... he said he did not have any amiga but he read those articles on the net about the history of the amiga and that waken up his interest in the machine again, a few days after that he said in the list "I've got 4 amigas!!"... he said they had the machines where he works (a TV production company) and he didn't say how much he paid for all of them, actually, the mahcines were only three, he said the company didn't want to sell him the 2nd A4KT. In the very first email he said he wanted to keep the A4000D and the A2000 and he also said he didn't have any interest on keeping the Video Toaster at all, then he noticed the A2000 did NOT work, so he said in the list:
"I want a working A4000D and an A2000", whoever gives me a working A4000D, gets the A4000D and the A4000T! or.. if you give me an A2000, I'll give you my dead A2000 + A4KT with TBC, Toaster and 3640 boards + 2 Amiga 4000 keyboards with minidin--> DIN adapters.
So, I had a spare (and working) Amiga2000 with original A2000 keyboard, original mouse, I told him this and we closed the deal... as simple as that. Later he found the A4000D worked after he cleaned it up.
He was very interedted in the cosmetic condition of the A2K... and it seems he doesn't lke Amiga Technologies, or maybe he didn't have enough space to keep the machine, but it was in no way a intentional rip off.
Cheers
